Build portals

🏔️ Summit 2025 Feature

Slate AI works anywhere you find a WYSIWYG editor in Slate, including portals.

1. First, give Slate AI something to work with in the form of exports (Express Portals) or queries (conventional portals).

2. Then, anywhere you find a WYSIWYG interface, tell Slate AI how you want the portal part to look, and it busies itself generating the CSS rules, HTML, and  liquid markup that render the portal part as you’ve specified.

Or, ask Slate AI how to best analyze the data.

Create tasks

Slate AI is fully integrated with Projects & Tasks. Here are just a few things you can do with it:

• Start a prompt with something like Email Alexander Hamilton... or Remind me to..., and Slate AI will create a task based on your input.

• Add a deadline, like follow up with an alumni by June 29th or remind me to call Alexander Hamilton next week and Slate AI will add a deadline to the task.

• Who is Alexander related to?

• Did Alexander ever take the SAT?
